Last Friday, October 10th, we held the "Amigos de las tortugas" workshop in Orlando, for young people from Moses & Mary Christian Academy. This workshop was part of the Orange County District 3 Youth Innovation Program, led by Christ the King Episcopal Church and the Renacer Foundation. During the activity, the young people learned in a fun and practical way about the importance of sea turtles, including their characteristics, types, habits, reproduction, and how we can contribute to their conservation.

The "Amigos de las tortugas" workshop is a program developed through a partnership between Inwater Research Group and Biophilia Institute. To date, it has reached more than 195 people through eight educational workshops in Central Florida. It will continue to be held to increase the number of ocean guardians in these areas of the state.

On October 7th in Orlando FL., we continued raising awareness among young people in Orange and Osceola counties as part of the "Creating a Sustainable Planet" educational program and competition, led by Mi Familia en Acción Florida, with support from the VoLo Foundation, where we act as partners in environmental education.

At least 22 young people from an Orange County high school learned about the causes and consequences of climate change, as well as the method for developing clean energy projects and the rules of the competition. This activity concludes the first phase of the program, in which more than 110 young people from both counties participated. They will now develop sustainable projects to benefit their school or community.

If you or your child are high school students and are interested in building a sustainable community, form a team of four and you will receive a scholarship if you win first, second, or third place. Call 321-400-5775. Leave a message with your name, phone number, and email address.

In “cayapa” through the Engelwood Neighborhood Center garden.

On Saturday, September 20, 2025, we held a volunteer day at the Engelwood Neighborhood Center community garden in Orlando, FL. At least 28 people participated, including volunteers from Publix, technicians from the City of Orlando's Office of Sustainability and Resilience, and representatives from the Biophilia Institute. During the activity, we weeded all areas, prepared the 13 raised beds, and incorporated composted organic fertilizer to improve their fertility.

Then, we planted climate-adapted vegetables and native pollinator species, selected for their compatibility with the local ecosystem, to attract pollinator species and increase biological diversity in the garden. This day allowed us to promote collective learning about urban biodiversity, ecological resilience, and food security in the community. Furthermore, it was a valuable opportunity to integrate efforts between the private sector, public institutions, and environmental organizations around ecological restoration and sustainable development.

The term "cayapa" comes from an ancestral practice referring to cooperative and voluntary work, where the community comes together to perform a task or meet a collective or individual need, such as harvesting or maintenance work, based on reciprocity and solidarity, where the value lies in collective effort.

On September 4, 2025, we participated in the OUC Emerging Technologies & Sustainability Tour, an event organized by the OUC Public Relations team in Orlando, Florida. During the tour, we learned about the solar energy projects and plans in Orlando, explored the building's operations, and saw the various solar energy prototypes they are developing.

We learned about the Gardenia Floating Solar Array, a 31.5 kW pilot project that allows OUC to evaluate the potential of floating solar energy within its clean energy portfolio. We also saw the solar panels on the parking lot and building roof, as well as the vegetable garden and hydroponic flower gardens. Thank you to Derek D. Hudson and Jeannette from OUC for the invitation.

Diversas organizaciones nos reunimos en la casa de una residente de la comunidad para plantar el primer árbol, lo que marcó el inicio de nuestros esfuerzos para fortalecer la vegetación y el bosque de esta comunidad.

Con el apoyo y el liderazgo del Comisionado Tony Ortiz District 2 Commissioner del Distrito 2 de la Ciudad de Orlando, las organizaciones participantes y los vecinos, reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con la conservación de los árboles y bosques de la zona, destacando su importancia para el bienestar y la mejora de la calidad de vida de toda la comunidad.

El pasado 1 de agosto, realizamos el taller práctico "Técnicas de propagación de árboles en ecosistemas urbanos", dirigido a jóvenes del Parque Azalea de Orlando. Durante la jornada, los participantes aprendieron sobre la propagación de árboles mediante la técnica de acodo aéreo, practicaron la realización de incisiones en ramas seleccionadas, la aplicación de hormona de enraizamiento y el uso de plástico reciclado para mantener el sustrato húmedo en el punto de incisión. Las áreas tratadas se envolvieron en plástico negro para simular condiciones óptimas de enraizamiento.

También observaron la formación de raíces en las ramas (resultado del primer taller en junio, con jóvenes de la misma zona). Cortaron la rama y la trasplantaron a macetas. La experiencia fue una combinación de ciencia y acción comunitaria para la conservación de los bosques urbanos. Estas actividades se desarrollan dentro del proyecto "Bosque Comunitario de la Fe", un corredor ecológico urbano en Florida Central. Ejecutado por Christ the King Episcopal Church in Orlando, FL con apoyo de Renacer Foundation , Observatorio Ambiental Hispano , care, callao y financiado por el programa de Hispanic Access Foundation
